True Value IROC Racing - Aug. 2 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

INDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2002 -- The excitement of the True
Value International Race of Champions series will return for the sixth
consecutive year to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Aug. 2, 2003, the
day before the 10th Brickyard 400.

The True Value IROC series is racing's "all-star game." Twelve of the
best drivers from various series compete in equally prepared True Value
IROC stock cars in a four-race series that concludes at the Speedway.

"We are excited to welcome back the True Value IROC Series to the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway," IMS President and CEO Tony George said.
"The IROC race has become an integral part of one of the biggest
motorsports weekends in the world."

Drivers from the Indy Racing League and the NASCAR Winston Cup, Busch
and Craftsman Truck Series are expected to participate, as well as World
of Outlaws standouts Danny Lasoski and Steve Kinser, who have been
announced as drivers in 2003. Kinser, a native of Bloomington, Ind.,
competed in the 1997 Indianapolis 500.

"I'm looking forward to running IROC next year and to get a chance to
run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway again," Kinser said. "I've never
been around there in a stock car before, so that will be different. But,
any time I can drive around there in any kind of car, it's special.

The 27th season of True Value IROC competition begins Feb. 14, 2003 at
Daytona International Speedway. Other races will take place April 5 at
Talladega Superspeedway and July 12 at Chicagoland Speedway.

All tickets for Friday, Aug. 1 and Saturday, Aug. 2 are general
admission. Tickets for Friday are $10 per person and $25 for Saturday.
Fans also can purchase a $35 two-day combo ticket for Friday and
Saturday that will allow fans to leave the Speedway grounds and return
at will. The single-day tickets do not allow this privilege.
